Humidty "Stuck"???
« on: December 13, 2015, 08:40:10 AM »
I get this message on my CWOP page:

"It appears that your relative humidity sensor is 'stuck' -- i.e. it reports the same value for extended periods of time. You should check that your relative humidity sensor is still working and is connected correctly."


...and think, nah...no way, we're just super humid down here.  But I check neighboring stations and it does appear that my readings are a tad high so I make an adjustment in Weather Display.  However, looking at my graphs, it does appear my humidity is "stuck".


Anyone experience this?  I have the 5 in 1 sensor and color display.  Any suggestions?

Not uncommon. I have had this happen when it's been cloudy and or raining for a couple of days steady... It doesn't mean you have a problem unless the reading just stays at one percentage and never changes at all if say it's a clear and sunny day.

Thanks.  After looking again, it appears my data is not "stuck".  It's just very damn humid here LOL.  I don't like how gladstone uses neighboring stations to grade your readings.  I've compared my readings with 2 other stations nearby and we are pretty darn close to each other, but looking at the local airport, it's the one that's off compared to ours.
